Heroic Haditha Marine Acquitted

The long, painful ordeal of Marine 1st Lt. Andrew Grayson came to a sudden end Wednesday when a jury of seven fellow Marine officers found him not guilty of trumped-up charges that should never have been leveled against him in the first place.

As Newsmax reported on Sept. 11, 2007, Grayson earned the enmity of prosecutors when he turned down their offer that would spare him from prison if he would agree to testify against fellow 3rd battalion, 1st Marines.

"I was asked by the prosecution to fall on my sword for the greater good of the Marine Corps,'' Grayson, 26, recalled. "The prosecution wanted me to distort the truth to fit their end goal.''

No offense at all taken. I am personally very angry at the prosecution of these men, at Murtha, and the liberal agenda to take a victory and make it a defeat at the expense of our wonderful volunteers in the armed forces.

Luckily, I have naturally low blood pressure.......

I wonder how many Marines will refuse to reup due to this garbage.

My bad, thanks for catching my typo.

Thanks for blaming the President it has become a standard response these days for just about everything.

Is bush not the commander???? One word and those soldiers are free....very simple...

[rockabyebaby]

Facts are facts my FRiend,, one word and he could have stopped this nonsense but instead he went along with it, just like the border guards STILL sitting in prison for doing their jobs, yes I blame Bush and it probably has become the standard response these days because he IS to blame.

[PISANO]

It is beyond my comprehension how anyone can expect the POTUS to be everything to everyone. He doesn't have enough to do then to micromanage something so far down the chain of command?

As though HE would have more FACTS about the case and know the LAW better than the boots on the ground doing the work!!!!

Thank GOD this POTUS doesn't pay attention to polls or lead by focus groups.

While trying our Marines may be disgusting to ALL OF US, I am proud he let it run it's course without interference from above.

To date the Haditha Marines have been vindicated....the system is WORKING on it's OWN as it must be to have any meaning at all!!

Ya sure, its “simple” but only in the world of simpletons.
